What Business Type for Blog Donations?

[LM86]

I've created a blog that documents our family's journey through the adoption process, and I'd like to add a donation button to the site for anyone who would like to contribute to our fund raising efforts. I know that in order to do this and remain anonymous, I need to set up a business account, but I don't know if I should select 'Individual Proprietorship' or 'Nonprofit Organization'. This isn't technically a business at all, but all funds will go towards adoption-related expenses.

Any help is welcome! Thanks.

Hello LM86,

Welcome to the Forums.

You have really good questions in regards to how to set up your PayPal account for your non-profit blog. When setting up your PayPal account for a non-profit business you would need to provide non-profit paper work such as 5013c documents. If you are not classified as a non-profit you would select  'Individual Proprietorship' and use the donation button. I hope this helps and Good luck
